Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban

The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a ban on TikTok, citing national security concerns over its ties to China. The court emphasized the government's apprehensions regarding the potential for the Chinese government to access sensitive data on American users, which could threaten national security. The ruling ignored the free speech rights of TikTok users, as justices dismissed the impact the ban would have on how 170 million Americans communicate. The court's reasoning showed a deference to legislative claims about the dangers posed by TikTok, prioritizing perceived national security over individual rights.
